Scalp Massage ( Add On)

Service Description

A scalp massage is a type of massage that is localized to the head, behind the ears and back of the neck.

Sometimes oil is applied to further heighten relaxation and to provide nourishment to the scalp. The primary aim of a scalp massage is to release tension in the head and neck area.

A scalp massage helps to ease this tension, relaxing the nervous system and alleviating pain or discomfort.
